Various routes lead to the summit which may be accessed via a gentle stroll. Wild ponies and if you are lucky, red deer may be seen on the surrounding moorland.
Wonderful wide open views....stunning...just stunning. Views across open moorland....no people, cars or noise (except the bees on the heather). Saw plenty of red deer too
On a crystal clear night it is just the best time to watch the stars in the sky. Well worth the stroll to the top.
Views to Bristol Channel and Wales did'nt walk the half mile or so to the Beacon but still impressive
We have the joy of owning a property near here and have often been up to the Beacon with family, friends and dogs. It is a beautiful spot with panoramic views. It can be a bit windy being as open to the moor as it is, but a viewing platform well worth a visit. The surrounding area is breathtaking.
We left at 7am and walked from Burrowhayes farm up through the woods to Dunkery Beacon with the help of a local map. The woodland is peaceful and tranquil, and the open moorland at the top offers stunning panoramic views. We saw a herd of deer, and not a single person - perfect.
Do the walk to the top - take your time - no need to rush. Take it slowly and keep your eyes open for the Red Deer and Exmoor Ponies. If your quiet and patient you'll see them. The view from the top on a fine day is spectacular.
Great 360* views when you reach the beacon. lovely.3G works up there too, so you can send pictures from the spot! bonus for techy people.
Great views from the top on a clear day. Bit of a climb to get there, but ok for the reasonably fit.
Dunkery beacon, highest point on Exmoor and with breath taking views to Dartmoor, Wales and the south coast, a truly amazing place. The colours of the landscape were fantastic.
